Rain!

It has rained for the past 11 days in Saugerties, including this past weekend. That kept us under roofs for the most part, which meant lots of rest and some tinkering inside. We did do one project we have been putting off for a while: cleaning the inside porch, a space that probably hasn't been this clean since the late 60s. A day later we still smell like bleach.

We also had our first (and second) fire in the fireplace since December. We covered the peak for the winter and just had a new chimney cap put on. A great fireplace. Finn has mixed feelings about the open flame.
